                Gm     F
I came for distraction
        D#         A#
Then I got swept away
              Gm    F
By this new religion
       D#      A#
By my digital faith

    Gm                          F
And all of my friends are here, up to no good
    D#                     A#
So why would I leave if I could stay
              Gm     F
here for distraction?
          D#         A#
Oh, I forgot why I came, but

Chorus:
Gm         F       D#            A#
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Gm         F      D#             A#
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
      Gm         F
Don't wanna wake up, no
   D#            A#
I wanna keep pretending
Gm         F       D#            A#         Gm F
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real, real life
   D#            A#
I wish this was real life

Out there I'm a loser
That you might just forget
In here I'm a goddess
And I leave all my regrets

I'm happy here wearing this skin that I made
So why would I want to be awake?
In here I'm a somebody
And they all sing my name

Chorus

    Gm         F
So look at me now
           D#         A#
Look at me now, now, now, now, now
     Gm          F
Just look at me now
            D#        A#
Look at me now, now, now, now, now, now

Chorus:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real life
Don't wanna wake up, no
I wanna keep pretending
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wish this was real, real life
I wish this was real, real life
